And i think we could have given them some insight and some suggestions to make it better if they had done that. Secondly, i think that the fact that we dropped 2,700 pages on the congress and said were going to vote on this in three days, you know, its just not the right way to process statute, particularly as complicated as those 2,700 pages are. We will go down in legislative history, probably not for good, was Speaker Pelosi saying we have to pass this bill to find out whats in it. Thats just not good process. And it has spawned hundreds of thousands of pages of regulation, which is still being sought to find out, what does this really mean and how is it going to be applied to the states.
